In this short YouTube segment, Bailey from TN Nursery introduces the purple violet (Viola spp.) as an underrated, low‑maintenance perennial that forms a dense, fragrant carpet on forest floors and can serve as a grass‑free ground cover. Bailey explains how to harvest the violet’s blossoms, boil them to create a blue‑hued infusion, and add a splash of lemon which instantly turns the drink bright pink, a beverage he calls “butterfly tea.” The video also promotes a limited‑time buy‑one‑get‑one‑free offer (two plants for $5.99 total, effectively $3 each) and a 10 % discount code “BAILEY” for purchases at TNNursery.net.

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I wanted to show you one of my favorite, most underrated perennial flowers that blooms in the springtime and blooms throughout summer. This is purple violet. They're a really, really good natural carpet. They just take over the forest floor. They're not aggressive when they take over, they just spread across the forest floor and make an excellent ground cover. I pick their flowers and I boil them and it makes a blue tea, and then you can put a little lemon in it and it turns it really, really bright pink. It's called butterfly tea. If your yard can't grow grass, you could plant this and it'll look just like grass.
